Day 4497: What, me worry?

What, me worry about whether you know where the saying “What, me worry “ comes from?

.

That’s Alfred E. Neuman, the mascot of Mad Magazine, which I read religiously when I was young. What, me worry that I was now years old when I found out some new-to-me information?

.

What, me worry about

  • waking up in the middle of the night?
  • the state of the USA and the rest of the world?
  • my health?
  • aging?
  • other people’s problems?
  • performing my protest song in front of people at rallies?
  • the images I choose to share with you today?

.

What, me worry about hairballs, penguins, East meeting West, and everything else on that list?

The reality is that worry doesn’t change anything and can make us afraid to act, so instead of worrying, take the next small step.

Here’s what I find when I search for “What, me worry?” on YouTube.

.

What, me worry about your comments?

Thanks to all who are here for this “What, me worry “ post, including YOU!

Day 1713: Like a pro

Like a pro, I noticed this sign yesterday:

I see pros and cons in that, based on my previous profession as a copywriter.  These days, my profession involves asking questions, including these: Is it possible to go back to school like a pro?  If you are in school, aren’t you NOT a professional?

Back to defining terms, like a pro:

pro
prō
noun informal
1. a professional, especially in sports.
“a tennis pro”
adjective
1. (of a person or an event) professional.
“a pro golfer”

pro·fes·sion·al
prəˈfeSH(ə)n(ə)l
adjective
1. relating to or connected with a profession.
“young professional people”
synonyms: white-collar, nonmanual
“people in professional occupations”
2. (of a person) engaged in a specified activity as one’s main paid occupation rather than as a pastime.
“a professional boxer”
synonyms: paid, salaried
“a professional rugby player”
noun
1. a person engaged or qualified in a profession.
“professionals such as lawyers and surveyors”
synonyms: white-collar worker, office worker
“affluent young professionals”

I rest my case, like a pro (even though I’m not a professional lawyer).

What does “like a pro” mean to you?  As you look around, who is acting like a pro?  Who needs to go back to school so they can act like a pro?

Any pros in my other photos today?

Here‘s “Like a Pro” by The Wizard, with people dancing like pros.

Thanks to all the pros and amateurs who contributed to today’s post and thanks to you — of course! — for reading like a pro.
